Let’s say you become a Christian. Does that automatically equip you to effectively share the Gospel? Does a person automatically come to know the best ways to demonstrate Biblical truth, or even more basically, that the Bible is true?

Not necessarily.

God can certainly use an uneducated believer; that is sure. However, I think becoming equipped to witness by giving well-reasoned answers to tough questions is requisite to sharing your faith. You can’t engage the culture (be salt and light to the world) if you can’t explain why it makes sense to be a Christian (why Christ is God, that He truly rose from the dead, etc).

I wonder how equipped I am.

Of course, this also assumes that we are ready and able to give personal testimony to what God has done for us, because that is crucial as well.
